Sailed the sea without a compass
 When his men began a rumpus
 Up spoke, Christopher Columbus

 There is land somewhere
 Until we get there,
 We will not go wrong,
 If we sing, "swing a song"

 Since the world is round,
 We'll be safe and sound
 Til our goal is found,
 We'll just keep rhythm bound

 Soon the crew was makin merry
 Then came a yell, "Let's drink to Isabelle,
 Hum, bring the rum, Ho Hum"

 No more mutiny,
 What a time at sea
 With di-plo-ma-cy
 Christy made his-to-ry

 Mister Christopher Columbus
 He used rhythm as a compass
 Music ended all the rumpus
 Wise old Christopher Columbus
